Makeup, Skincare, Fragrance and a Bit of Fashion
A few months ago, I spent some time looking through some of the cleansing oils I hadn’t tried before. Elizabeth Arden‘s Ceramide Replenishing Cleansing Oil stood out for me as its ingredient list was very short and straightforward. I decided to try it to see how it would work for me.

I have been generally happy with my skincare routine in the past few years. However, occasionally and mostly out of curiosity, I want to try something different. It would usually be a product that is from a brand/line I am interested in and doesn’t have any obvious skin irritant. One such product that I have been using is Hadalabo‘s Gokujyun Premium Lotion.

In 2016, RMK renewed parts of its cleanser lineup and released Clear Cleansing Milk, Smooth Cleansing Oil and Moist Cleansing Balm. I have been a regular user of the brand’s cleansing oil for more than fifteen years, and today I will be sharing my thoughts on Smooth Cleansing Oil.

In January, L’Occitane relaunched its Shea Butter skincare range in the UK. The existing products were repackaged and new products were added to the range. Today I will be reviewing the two new items: Shea Cleansing Oil and Shea Light Comforting Cream.

DHC‘s Deep Cleansing Oil is one of the products the brand is famous for (alongside Olive Virgin Oil). The brand also features a few other cleansers, including Water-Friendly Cleansing Oil, New Mild Touch Cleansing Oil and Pore Cleansing Oil. While the first two are not available in the UK, Pore Cleansing Oil has recently been launched in the UK. (New Mild Touch Cleansing Oil and Pore Cleansing Oil are available in the US.)

For spring/summer 2012, RMK has released Cream Soap (S) (to replace Creamy Soap (N)) and Foamed Soap (M) to add to the brand’s skincare lineup. (They were released on April 6th in Japan and at around the same time in the UK.) Today I am reviewing Foamed Soap (M).

In my Japanese Brand Profile series, I have written about Kao Sofina‘s Beauté and (the now discontinued) Hada.ka skincare lines. Today, in my Stash Debut 2012 series, I will be talking about another skincare line from Sofina, Sofina Jenne, and I will be reviewing Sofina Jenne Trial Set (Moist Type), my first purchase from Sofina Jenne (mainly to try the popular Jelly Moisturizer, one of the best-selling products from Sofina).

– I was told by a Muji sales assistant that Muji UK is no longer carrying facial skincare items for the time being. This means I will not be able to continue purchasing my Muji cleansing oil (Mild Oil Cleansing) in the UK. (Muji’s EU on-line store still has a few other skincare items.) I am surprised and not surprised. Muji Japan recently expanded its skincare range (and re-packaged some existing products, including Mild Oil Cleansing (the print on the bottle is now in green, not red)) and I thought Muji UK might start carrying more skincare products. However, Muji is never known for skincare in the UK so it is not too surprising that it is now focusing on other product lines.

As with some of the previous years, SUQQU released two limited-edition Christmas Makeup Kits for the brand’s holiday 2011 collection. Both 2011 Christmas Makeup Kit A and B feature a limited-edition variation of Blend Color Eyeshadow, Eye Makeup Remover R, Eye Cream R, and Original Pouch. Today I am featuring 2011 Christmas Makeup Kit B, and I am focusing on Blend Color Eyeshadow in EX-06 Usuchaori.

Last month, I reviewed DHC‘s Olive Virgin Oil, which is a good product for those with drier skin types. Today I will be focusing on two of the products in the Coenzyme Q10 range, Coenzyme Q10 Lotion and Coenzyme Q10 Milk.
Coenzyme Q10 Lotion is the toner of the Coenzyme Q10 range. It has a very fresh lightweight feel on the skin, and it doesn’t feel slippery or sticky. (It is not a rich toner that feels emollient on the skin.) It contains butylene glycol as a moisturizing ingredient and it contains willow bark extract as an anti-irritant.
